Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Special Music | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
God of glory, you have searched us and you know us, and still you love us. With all our faults, you love us. When we wander, you are with us. Your compassion fills our hearts, and your grace sustains our lives. Why then do we have times of doubt or fear? Why do we worry over what we cannot control? Calm us, O Lord. Take away any fear that keeps us from being close to you. You are our God, O God, let our hearts shine always as your creation. We ask in Jesus’ name, amen. |

Prelude | “My Peace” (As we return to our seats.) | Ruth Teaford & Praise Band |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |

Christian Greeting, Announcements & Prayer Requests | “This Is The Day” | Elder Jim DeHart |
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen |
